after looking through all the albums, I realised that maybe, you have to look back to times long past, to get a glimpse into the future.

I haven't seen my dad smile like that before.

the kind of smile you do with your mouth wide open and eyes big, as I'd you're having the time of your life.

I do that all the time, and I'm very afraid I'll lose the ability to do that when I finally "grow up".

I never want to lose the ability to smile, the ability to have a good times and forget my troubles, even for a bit.

I guess I really just want to live an enjoyable life.

not necessarily a good one, but a one when I die I'll look back and say "hey, I had a pretty good run."

that kind of life.

and I guess the secret of doing that is to never let yourself get absorbed into work.

never lose sight of what you want.

stay hopeful no matter what and don't forget your reasons for doing what youre doing now.

and most importantly, take very thing with a pinch of salt, even if it hurts like a bitch.

and go with the flow, ride life without a saddle and a whip, and let it show you the world.

it's magical.
